More than 300 guests who were on board a P&O cruise liner which reportedly crashed into a petrol tanker will have their holiday cut short and be flown home.in Mallorca on Sunday - with footage taken by a passenger showing fierce gusts sweeping across the waves from the ship's window.
The P&O ship, which moored off the coast of the Spanish island, will return to Southampton with a reduced number of passengers, a spokesperson for the company has said. They added that this was because one of the ship's lifeboats had"sustained structural issues" and therefore maritime regulations meant it would have to return to the UK.
The ship, called Britannia, was carrying thousands of passengers but 321 of them will now leave the ship and be flown back to their original starting point.The rest of the guests will conclude their trip on Friday as planned., which may be using cookies and other technologies.
